INTRODUCTION
The Power Tower Ecolift is a simple, safe and efficient alternative to step-
ladders, platform/podium steps and small scaffold towers. The Ecolift does
not require batteries (or charging) or connection to an electricity supply. It
works by a unique, patented stored power mechanism which enables the
platform to be elevated with very little effort by the operator.
The Ecolift is designed for working internally on flat, level surfaces,
and as it has no batteries, electric motor, electrics or hydraulics it is very
ecologically friendly. It is ideally suited to working in a very wide range of
applications from the very ‘clean’ environments of hospitals, food and drinks
production facilities, pharmaceuticals and retail, to facilities maintenance,
shop-fitting and indoor construction and even on zone 1/21 hazardous
areas (If ATEX option is fitted).
The Ecolift is suitable for any application provided it is used within its
specified operating parameters. If used for applications such as sand
blasting, welding, paint spraying or with any other hazardous materials,
measures must be taken to ensure the Ecolift does not become damaged in
any way which may impair safety, or reliability. Additional protection for the
operator may be required in some cases, which is the responsibility of the
operator and/or the operator’s employer.
The purpose of this manual is to provide essential basic information required
to operate and maintain the Ecolift.
This is not a workshop manual. Please contact the manufacturer or their
agent for specific operation or maintenance information if in doubt.
The health and safety of the operator or maintenance technician is the
responsibility of the individual and/or their employer and not Power
Towers Ltd.
